Homeland Security Best Practices- 36662
Homeland security has been in the forefront of the nation's
consciousness since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and
an impressive array of best practices in homeland security has begun
to emerge.This book is a collection of contributions from public
safety professionals involved in all phases of emergency
management--mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. It
outlines the federal, state, and local roles in the important work
of homeland security, with a special emphasis on the local level,
where emergency response involves not only highly visible police
officers and firefighters, but also those responsible for dispatch,
public works, public information, utilities, health, and uncounted
support activities. The book shows what local governments can do to
mitigate disasters through such practices as: assessing local risks
updating building codes to ensure that safety features are
incorporated in new construction emphasizing the intelligence
gathering activities of police It explains how to increase
preparedness by: assessing and enhancing the capabilities of police,
fire, and other departments training employees strengthening
communication networks and information sharing among agencies
establishing emergency operations centers and an incident command
system In the response phase, it shows how training and preparation
can pay off and how technological advances can be employed. Finally,
perspectives on the recovery phase include first-hand accounts of
the human side-managing stress for public safety employees and
dealing with fatalities through counseling and other means. The
volume also lists sources of assistance from federal and state
agencies at each stage
